afrugalfather 's review for:
The Westing Game
by Ellen Raskin
As someone else mentioned this reminded me of Agatha Christie, specifically Murder on the orient express, which to be fair is the only Agatha Christie novel I've read thus far. It seems similar I think because for most of the book there is one person who seems to be in step with the mystery that you can follow and admire, but even more so because there are so many unique characters in the book that you are trying to figure out who did it. I won't put any spoilers but other common threads are in both books. If you liked one I imagine you would like the other.
What I didn't like as much was that it was difficult to keep track of all the characters when listening as an audiobook. I think this is the case with most books that have so many "main" characters. Since I image most people will read in printed or e-book form this will probably be less of an issue there (I imagine at least). I think its the kind of book that could benefit from a 2nd and 3rd reading (seemed dense with clues and details that I most likely missed on my first pass).
